| Winston needs thoughts and prayers!!! Winston is at the vets...again...for IGR test, insulin/glucose ratio, this test is to help determine whether or not he has an Insulinoma, a tumor of the pancreatic islet beta cells. The silence here at home today is deafening...he's been there for 4 hours, no phone call yet. The vet suspects that this is what has been causing him to have hypoglycemic reactions, which in turn causes him to have seizures. I am worried sick about him, but I do want to find out what is wrong...if the vet is right, I will be needing advise on where to take him for the best possible chance for treatment, surgical or medical. So I'm begging you all to take a minute and pray for my little guy, I've seen your prayers work before and I'm hoping they will work again for Winston's sake. Thank you all in advance, for your caring concern. I'll keep you up to date, when I know something more I'll be sure to let you know. YorkieTalk has been a true blessing to me, you have all been very kind and so helpful. I thank you, and Winston thanks you from the bottom of his sweet little heart.

| Winston is home...and hungry...I can not believe he has been there all day and they were not able to run the insulin levels because his sugar wouldn't go below 60. I'm getting frustrated, but he's happy to be home. They said it would be 1-4 days to get the bile acid test back that they did yesterday. But I'm pretty sure I'll be trying to find a specialist in my area...for a consultation...just to see what another vet might say is causing this. I'm not sure what kind of specialist, endocrinologist for the hypoglycemia or a neurologist for the seizures... I do want to take this time to thank everybody for the thoughts and prayers, but it's not over, as I still have no answers...Maybe I need you to pray that I find the right vet!!! I don't even know where to start looking. My groomer gave me a couple names and numbers for vets she has used in the past...she even told me I could tell them that she recommended them to me...I thought that was nice of her to offer help. I wish there was some type of university hospital close by, I may need to drive aways. We'll see...how the bile acid test comes back anyway. And I'll let you all know, as I know it. Thanks again!!!

| Oh gosh, I'm praying that you find the right vet who can diagnose Winston properly...And I'm praying that you're able to find the source of those seizures and that Winston gets better!!
